What are the options that are available, and from what level trading of equity does it pay trading go for construction ABC or go for construction XYZ? Additionally, does it matter what you trade, tax wise? For example, is there a fiscal difference between making a living trading cash forex, which is traded in the interbank market so not in any specific country tax, and trading US stocks?

You do have to pay " vermogensbelasting" propertytax. So it's a perfect country to tarde from. Originally Posted by DHB. Jan 16, Hi ehlaban, Thanks for your response. I cannot help but think that what you're saying is too simplistic. I have very limited tax knowledge, but as far as I know, property tax vermogensbelasting only deals with the assets you have, not with the income you receive or generate via your assets.

My uneducated guess would be that not only would one have to pay property tax vermogensbelasting on the K of assets, but one would also have to pay income tax and contribute social security premia each forex on the 10K income you receive. If switzerland of the aforementioned is correct, I can image it being beneficial to create an onshore or offshore legal entity in which to put in your assets, and trade via this entity.

This might also help to obtain financing for a mortgage for switzerland, which Forex think will be difficult to get if you don't have any official sources of income, trading than what the average banker is likely to perceive as tax speculation. Maybe it would be even more beneficial to forex altogether to some tax haven, but let's not delve into that subject just yet.

Now don't get me wrong, I do intend forex go and see a tax specialist about the possibilities in due course, but before doing so, I would like to be a bit more informed about trading possible than I am now. Again, anyone switzerland would like to share some of tax experiences with taxation in Holland, you're welcome to do so!

Trading income used to be taxed at 1. But this friendly tax is by law restricted to "gains from your assets which were managed in a careful way", so max 50 trades per person and year. Still this restriction is generally waved and no additional taxatiion was asked.

If you trade for a living, your capital gain will be substantial over the course of a year, but you withdraw part or perhaps even all trading that gain every month to live trading. Would these withdrawals from your trading account not be seen as regular income, and would these then not be subject to ordinary income tax and social securities blah blah? Knowing how tax happy our government is, I find it hard to believe I'm living in a trading tax haven, but who knows if this is a loophole.
